OK boys and gorls
Are you sitting comftybold two-square on your botty for the quizlode?

I use to use the AA for the van and bike B&R but found the bastards were quietly upping the direct debits unbeknownst to me so told
em to feck off.

So, any recommendations for combined van/bike cover ?

I had rac with the bike as it was new and whenI dropped it at walking pace and broke the engine casing and it leaked oil, the rac told me to do one.

Luckily the wife had AA fo the car and I was named, I phoned em and they came out and took me home.

I'm sure many have different stories but we've been with the AA since and I tell the twats trying to sell rac at shopping centres to go away.

Keep an eye out cashback sites for greenflag.

ADAC (German company which uses AA in the UK I believe) is usually excellent value for the service they provide, but a bit of hassle.

I had the AA, do that to me. I only realised when a renewal letter came through after they had already sucked the money out of my account.

I phoned them up and winged like fuck and they refunded me £50 and guaranteed the same renewal price next year. So moaning does get results sometimes.

I also with Green Flag, broke down and they sent SOS Bike Recovery within 30 minutes and they were very good. 10/10 would use again.

It's presume you're talking about the 1 year free RAC cover deal that you get when buying a new kawasaki?

If so, what were their reasons for telling you to do one?

I'm interested to know because I currently have RAC via that deal.

Probably claimed it was accident damage. My AA cover I know doesn't cover me for damage relating to an accident.
